On June 16, 2020, a visiting team of CDCC
experts arrived at Qnet Data Center Park in Songjiang District, Shanghai. “It
has long been heard that this is the first industry 4.0 big data industrial
park of intelligent-type in China, from which the intelligent manufacturing
enterprises in this region would obtain more reliable services of data collection,
processing, mining and analysis.” In spite of the experts have visited many
data centers, ever one of them were amazed by the machine room of the data
center in front of them.
Into the hall of the data center, once
again, the staff conducted temperature measurement and security check on the
visitors. Passing through the anti-trailing door, the visiting team came to the
machine room area. The ground is as clean and tidy as spotless; inside the cold
channel, intelligent lighting is installed on both sides at an oblique
45-degree angle, intelligent miniature bus above the cabinet replaced the
traditional array cabinet, red and blue color matching supplemented by the
bright yellow of the fiber optic slot, which is brilliant and vivid. What’s
amazing is that everything one could see is particularly exquisite, that even
the tiny details such as the signs on the ground would impress the visitors.
Cabinets and cables, which sound like typical engineering words, and industrial
materials that should look lifeless, seem to be assigned with styles here,
making the machine room of the data center that is industrial nature full of
Nordic style.
With a total construction area of 21, 800
square meters, the industrial park has two independent data centers, with a total
of 3, 380 cabinets and more than 20 module units in the first phase, it can
provide enormous computing capacity of more than 60, 000 servers. The project
has passed national A-level certification, international Uptime® Tier III
certification as well as Uptime® M&O certification.
Around environment conservation and energy
saving in many systems, Qnet data center is optimized to create an
environmentally friendly data center. A large-scale centralized chilled water
system is used in the air conditioning system, centrifugal chillers and plate
type heat exchanger for natural cooling are installed in the refrigeration
station. The chilling water pipeline does not adopt bright red, yellow and blue
colors like other data centers, but is based on blue and gray, which is
chastened and sedate, and is also easy to identify and manage on the other
hand. Some of the module-type machine rooms adopted the eat pipe type indirect
evaporative cooling AHU, with the air conditioning equipment installed on the
roof, and the air is sent back to the machine room through the air duct. The
machine room adopts the way of hot channel blockade and ceiling returning hot
air. The unit can switch operation in dry and wet modes, which can greatly
reduce PUE. Between the two buildings of the data center, experts saw two
towering giant storage tanks that could meet the IT load with uninterrupted
cooling duration of up to 2 hours. Taking advantage of the peak and valley
electricity pricing policy, the operating costs were greatly saved, and serves
as the storage of the cooling water at the same time. Outdoor diesel generator
set is adopted, full load backup time is not less than 20 hours.
With the operation goal of the data center
to provide high-quality, high-availability machine room rental hosting
services, Qnet Data Center especially attaches importance to the development of
the overall operation and management system as well as customer service system.
The data center has built an integrated management service system,
independently researched and developed the DC-Mind integrated operation and
maintenance management platform, optimization and improvement have been made in
the aspects of the quality of operation and maintenance data, the ability of
data analysis, the efficiency of judgment and processing, the influence of
human factors, and the coordination of various operation and maintenance
resources. Taking account of cost efficiency, service quality, operation and
maintenance security and other dimensions to promote the overall refined management
in an electronic and automated way. By way of IoT management to realize IoT
integration and integrated linkage as well as refined management.
Due to the influence of the typhoon, there
has just been a heavy rain in Shanghai, so that the weather is cool and
everything is in good order. The lovely green lawn overspreading the industrial
park, the dark exterior walls of the data center, metallic colored cold
accumulation cans and diesel engine equipment, all present a harmonious and
exquisite industrial beauty that is naturally unfolded in front of the visiting
team, which have constituted a data center full of style.
